  • I agree, the play is at the level of the mind. :) What is observed is that there are mental 'obstacles' which people come up against in their search for truth or desire to end suffering. We could call those obstacles "stages on the path", but really any stage is an obstacle to the ultimate truth. The truth alone liberates.

    But to deny people their "obstacles" can result in more obstruction as the mind rebells to what it feels is a fact. Take for example superstition, we can say it is not needed, but by telling a superstitious person this, they only try harder to confirm that their beliefs are needed, they re-enforce their mind's obstacles. They must remove their mental obstacles through their own Self inquiry.

    What is also observed is that the mind will keep coming back to doubts and issues, over and over again, as that is the mind's nature to dwell on regurgitate doubts, memories, questions and answers ad infinitum. Until the mind is seen as the mechanism that it is. hahaha :D
    The self is unimportant lest one view one's self as the many, the whole, the other, the all.... as I do. As a single, it is not of importance. You mean much to me, thus you can see my point my old friend.
    My good friend, thank you so much for all your insights. I hope I have returned the favor. Be well my friend! I miss you!
    Not around much either, was just good to see you! I am well, hope you are as well.
    Hi Zen,alls well ,would love to visit India,i was watching a programe about the Ganges the other day,India looks so exotic,i must save my pennies for such a trip and i must find the photos of my Sons holiday there.
    That is what I believe since Gita teaches so. But Gita also teaches that sattwik ideas are conducive to goodess while tamasic-rajasic ideas are detrimental.

    Further, Hindu scriptures also state that without mind's inward movement the truth will not be evident.

    ...
    Just wished to collect all ideas/concepts on self. Obviously the ideas will represent an array of levels.
    I don't think I complimented you on your kindness and gentleness in the forum towards others. I do it now friend Zenzero.
